Hello everyone.

I am looking for a computer (desktop) that can play low-mid ranged games while recording. I don't expect to play anything more than Call of Duty on low settings. And that can render and edit videos. Nothing special. My budget is no more than $400-$500. This is not meant to be a "gaming" computer. Just a computer that can do what I said. Thank you in advance.

If you wanted to get a 2TB HDD or upgrade your ram to 16GB your budget would still be around $500. But this will do basic stuff like you wanted :)
